Assureon 6.0 introduces service provider-oriented features such as extremescalability and secure, physical separation of archives between users.Also, Assureon 6.0 features Nexsan's AutoMAID greentechnology to reduce power consumption in the hosted datacenter. Assureon6.0 is a complete system consisting of disk storage, archiving software andservers in a single rack.

"Companies of all sizes are under great pressure today to save money, saveenergy and operate more efficiently, and increasingly they are doing so byturning to new outsourced, subscription models for everything from theirsoftware to their storage applications," said Gregg Pugmire, executive vicepresident of business development, Nexsan. "With Assureon 6.0, we areproviding our first storage-as-a-service system designed specifically toaddress customers' needs for high-performance, extremely scalable, securearchiving. Assureon 6.0 is highly cost-effective and energy-efficient, andit is specifically targeted for the long-term management of fixed, orpersistent, data."

The newest member of Nexsan's disk-based archiving family, Assureon 6.0features an innovative new Nexsan-designed content addressable storage(CAS) capability that enables customers to virtualize a system into anessentially unlimited number of physically secure archives. Thisnext-generation CAS technology makes Assureon 6.0 the ideal archivingplatform for a hosted storage service solution. Assureon 6.0 provides:

-- Increased privacy: ensures physical separation of individual customer files in multi-tenant environments-- Extreme scalability: virtualized CAS expands easily and cost effectively-- Accelerated performance: no more object limits, no more performance penalty-- Ultra green: energy efficiency via AutoMAID-- Cost-correct: amortizes archive costs across greater number of users, reduces capacity costs as it scales

Obliterating the Traditional Object Count

Marking a new generation of highly scalable, energy-efficient archiving,Assureon 6.0 obliterates the object count limitations that today plaguetraditional content addressable storage (CAS) archives.Previous-generation archive solutions, such as those built on multi-volumearchitectures, are limited by the total number of files or objects that canbe stored. In many cases, customers have significant amounts of storagespace available, but are restricted from using their full storage capacityas they have reached their maximum object or file count.

Rather than adding large, expensive databases, as other providers do toincrease storage and object limits, Assureon 6.0 easily scales to supportmultiple virtual file systems. Each of these independent, private andsecure CAS archives resides within one larger consolidated or federatedarchive. This provides the unique benefit of physical separation ofindividual customers' data. This true multi-tenant approach to archiving ismore economical and efficient than previous, non-virtual approaches tostorage-as-a-service.

Ensures Strictest Privacy Even in Multi-Tenant Applications

For these reasons, Assureon 6.0 is ideal for managed service providersinterested in storing data for up to several hundred subscription-basedcustomers on a single remote server while ensuring the strictest privacyfor that data. The product is also well-suited for large corporateenvironments where data segmentation between divisions or business units isessential. Thanks to Assureon 6.0's secure multi-tenant functionality,customers can easily add additional storage capacity without compromisingdata integrity or performance and without facing escalating storage costs.

Jack Henry & Associates, a leading financial services IT provider, hasincorporated Assureon 6.0 as the underlying archive architecture for itsnew Synergy(TM) Express modular software-as-a-service (SaaS) enterprisecontent management (ECM) solution. Jack Henry is beginning to offer thisservice to its customers in the financial services market, as well as otherindustries that are attracted by the minimal capital investment required bya subscription-based service model.

According to Stacey Zengel, general manager of imaging solutions for JackHenry & Associates, "SaaS solutions are attracting significant and growinginterest from diverse businesses that want to largely operate in-house butoutsource the hardware component of their systems. This hybrid operatingenvironment enables businesses to retain complete control over theiroperations while reducing their information technology expenditures,compliance initiatives, and security risks. With Synergy Express, ourcustomers remain responsible for managing their own ECM content, which ispushed to our secure storage facility and replicated to another geographiclocation for disaster recovery purposes. With its high reliability andperformance, Nexsan's Assureon 6.0 has proven to be an ideal image storagecomponent for our new service."

Supports Compliance Requirements

Assureon 6.0 includes state-of-the-art digital fingerprinting technologythat tracks the chain of custody for each file. Thus, corporations,hospitals, government entities and other organizations can meet complianceregulations while safely managing long-term data.

Green Archiving

Like all Nexsan products, Assureon 6.0 includes AutoMAID technology thattransparently places unused data into progressively more idle states inorder to save energy without compromising performance. This is a crucialbenefit for long-term data storage, because it prevents the otherwiseexponential rise of energy consumption as the archive grows.
